Spilled lead on my hand when I was a teenager, got my metal watch band across some hot wires in the wall a few years later. Learned my lessons. Now I'm careful. Most of the time. I did recently let a 1/2" socket turn itself and the end of a 3/8" ratchet into a blob while removing the hot lead from a 24V battery set without removing the ground lead first. Now I believe them when they say 24V really does make hotter arcs than 12V.
